I grew so frustrated at not know the magic that I started a project (github.com/CarlMungazi/aprender-js) solely aimed at uncovering the magic! Like Molly says, once you peel back the layers you discover that is only well-designed software.

I started reading the source code of tools like React because I wanted to know why frameworks exist. It has been beneficial because whenever I encounter a problem with a library now, I am not afraid to peel back the layers and dig around.
